Development of sensitive method to quantify glycogen in vivo may help to understand the pathophysiology of type-2 diabetes. In present study, we tested feasibility of in vivo glycogen detection in diabetic mouse model using chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging. Our results suggest that in vivo CEST quantification in mouse liver is feasible in a clinical scanner.
